About Davis' Central Davis

Open House, Rain, Shine or Both in Central Davis, California

It is Saturday, January 23, 2010 (that still sounds weird!) and I have been in the Real Estate business for going on 6 years and yet, I'm going to do an open house today in Central Davis, California as though it were my first time. I'm getting that feeling I used to get preparing for a first date with someone hot! I promise this is a "G" rated blog....

So here's my point, and I do have one. I am one of those Realtors that has it good. I can convert a sign call into a listing or buyer and then give it away as a referral to an agent who is not as busy as I am, I can take a "walk-in" on the floor and within 2 hours list the property (which just happened and I then put their Central Davis, Californiahome in escrow on day 14 of the listing) , I can door knock and get a buyer who buys a house around the corner in a Realtor dense neighborhood... all this in a"tough" market... not because I'm some "Movie Star" Realtor.... honestly, I think it is because I have figured out we're in the people business and selling homes is the physical matter that we transact).... and I have a great attitude!

But here's the real reason for my excitement: I am no longer going to rely on my "natural ability" of just showing up. I can do better than that. I owe it to you, my fellow professional Realtors, I owe it to my clients who have entrusted me with one of the largest financial transactions of their lives, I owe it to my broker who keeps the lights on and keeps me in the state-of-the-art technologyand information, but most importantly, I owe it to myself! If Im going to do something from now on, I'm going to going to do it all the way.... with all the professionalism, knowledge, care, enthusiasm, best information, skills and focus I can muster.

So maybe I'll see you today at the Central Davis, California open house on the corner of Shepherd's Lane and B Street. 230 Shepherds Lane Davis, California from 1-4.... at the Open House, Rain, Shine or Both in Central Davis, California

Today I decided to be a better me by taking care of myself. I took the morning off and walked for an hour and fifteen minutes in the UC Davis Arboretum. I went to graduate school at UC Davis and I always love the feeling I get when I'm on campus, but I forgot about this beautiful, refreshing resource in my back yard. While at graduate school at the turn of the century (that was fun to say) I was so busy hustling between classes, that I didn't take the time to enjoy the Arboretum. Now I make it a point to go by myself or with a walking/talking buddy. Visit the Arboretum website here: www.arboretum.ucdavis.edu

The arboretum is a delightful, nature walk, with planned gardens that feature many different habitats. I saw ducks, turtles and many bird species, as well as many other walkers enjoying this scenic hike. It is not a super intense walk, but there are differing grades throughout, with benches to sit and enjoy the view. Here's a tip: park at the Border's Books parking lot near the back, hop on the trail (made mostly out of asphalt) and take the loop. You can shorten the loop and take a shorter walk, if you feel like it. When you're done, grab a book at Borders or get a great burger at Hamburger Habit or do some shopping at the Gap.

Come see this lovely part of Davis, California and you'll see why people are crazy about living in Davis. The whole town feels like a throwback to a smaller, quieter, simpler America. I highly recommend taking a walk in the UC Davis Arboretum. You can call me with your questions about anything Davis, I'm happy to help, free of charge!
